PANTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,115, dated May 31, 1887.

Application filed November 3, 1886. Serial No. 217,911. (No model.)

To all whom it 11mg concern:

Be it known that we,'FRANKKA11N, HIRSOH MoRRIs, and LoUIs MoRRis, citizens of vthe United States, residing at Memphis, n the county of Shelby 'and State of Tennessee,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pants, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a pair of pants opened to expose the crotch-seam. Fig. 2 is a crosssection of seam and re-enforce B. r

The invention relates especially to workingpants or overalls; and the object is to so strengthen the crotch-seam that ripping will be practically impossible.

A represents a pair of pants having our improved seam.

B represents a strip of any suitable material, preferably drilling, stitched at its longitudinal edges to the seat of the pants at opposite sides of its crotch-seam, the stitches also passing through the seam laps 0r folds, so that three rows of stitches will be formed at this seam. The several rows of stitching will each relieve the other of strain, as will be readily understood. The leg-seams at the crotch are similarly re-enforced by means of the strip 0,

- which extends across the erotch-sean1 below thestrip B, and is secured at its longitudinal edges by rows of stitches at opposite sides of the leg-seams. The juncture of the several seams will therefore be strengthened by both strips. These strips 13 0 may be sewed together ready for application to the seams and kept on hand by the manufacturer'of the pants, so that they can be readily applied to the crotch-seams; and the, strips may be doubled or of two thicknesses of material, if desired.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

' A'pair of pants having a strip stitched at I opposite sides of its crotch-seam through the laps or folds thereof, and a second separate strip crossing the first strip and stitched to the legs at opposite sides of the seams and through the laps or folds thereof, substantially as set forth. 7
